UNSPSC 27112005: Axes

UNSPSC 27112005 Axes is a Commodity code that state and local governments classify under janitorial and operational supplies purchasing, though the recent solicitation activity tagged to this code does not reflect axes or hand tools in the traditional sense. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00319, posted July 7, 2026, requests consumable janitorial and operational supplies for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department on an as-needed basis. The scope includes new, unused products in original packaging for 47 fire stations operating around the clock, with standard delivery required within ten days and emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. Bidders must be authorized distributors, provide backorder and chain-of-custody documentation, and quote pricing free-on-board destination with all shipping and warranty included. The estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year term with no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities.

County governments appear to be the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code in recent activity. The Hillsborough County procurement demonstrates the use of competitive sealed bids (ITB) for consumable supply contracts serving public-safety departments. The response deadline of July 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time has passed. The County reserves discretion to award by line item, section, or overall net bid price, does not require bid, performance, or payment surety, and permits sharing the awarded contract with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Vendors must submit a Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form under Florida Statute 287.087 and a Substitute W-9 Form. The recent opportunity activity supporting this code is limited to this single solicitation, suggesting the code may see sporadic state and local procurement volume or tagging misalignment with actual commodity acquisition.
